Compulsive weighing



Recommended Posts

So I know I weigh myself too much. I weigh myself morning and night and sometimes in between. I'm just so fascinated with the numbers dropping!

I mean I had surgery on May 27th but I've had so many complications I haven't really been able to enjoy the weight loss.

Now that I feel better I weigh myself all the time. It just drops and drops.

I've lost 10 pounds since Saturday and it's now Tuesday and I just love seeing those smaller numbers.

Is it really harmful to keep weighing myself? I really have a hard time not getting on the scale....Did any of you have struggles with this?

Starting weight:540

Surgery weight 5/27: 480

Current weight:369

You are doing great !!!!!!

Let the progress inspire you to keep on plugging away and staying on track.

I generally weight daily...as soon as I wake up.

Embrace success and the great feels that come with it.

Thanks!!

It's really been a crazy ride :)

Congrats to YOU!!

My advice?

Do whateverthehell you want with that scale!!!!

Use it....don't...kick it to the curb....give it a place of honor in your home...

All you need to do is be true to you, work the program and enjoy the results as you see fit.

I used to weigh daily. Mornings, naked, after the bathroom lol

My weight loss slowed down over the last couple of weeks as I'm nearing goal, so I've backed off to every few days so I don't fall victim to thinking I'm stalling.

What I'm watching for now is no movement or a few ounces down.

As long as it isn't upward. I'm not ready for maintenance yet mentally. At 7 months out, I still see value in more loss, but if it's only 3-4 pounds a month for a few more months, that's fine.

I'll never NOT weigh... That's sticking your head in the sand.

Thank you!

Haha that's a good point! I know the weight loss is going to slow down as the months go on and I get closer to goal (though I'm still pretty far away from that.)

I agree about never not weighing. I couldn't ever do that!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
